Likely the hardest option would be trying to only modify the scheduling provider with the additional information that belongs in the compute element provider. I'd say either write a new provider (as mentioned below), or modify the compute element provider (which is either Ganglia, Hawkeye, Clumon, Nagios, etc). Others can chime in too. You're going to have to look around for the docs on configuring it as I don't have them handy. You can start here: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/info/usefulrp/rpprovider-overview.html There was some command line tool to generate configuration (glue-mds-configure or something), but I didn't use it. > About the other option, is this what you had in mind? > http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/info/usefulrp/WS_MDS_UsefulRP_HOWTO_RPProvider_ExternalElem.html Yes. This will probably be easier -- at least if I were doing it, I'd try to go that route :-) -Neill.
